Adios, Amiga!


Adios, Bougainvillea, Adios, Amiga
Your little pink flores? No mas
This makes me muy triste
They cut your vine before its time
A casualty of painting
Por que?  Oh!  Por que?
For 11 anos you grew and grew
You cheered up this short little Jew
Now teardrops fall on mi casa
Una dia, you'll come back, I know 
Till then, shalom, mi amiga!
Take care, ba-bye 
Weep no more, SJG
It could be worse, verdad?
